Stefan Schoenefeld 31161bc969 avcodec/h263dec: fix hwaccel decoding
Recently we encountered an issue when decoding a h.263 file:

FFmpeg will freeze when decoding h.263 video with NVDEC. Turns out this is not directly related to NVDEC but is a problem that shows with several other HW decoders like VDPAU, though the exact kind of error is different (either error messages or freezing[1]). The root cause is that ff_thread_finish_setup() is called twice per frame from ff_h263_decode_frame(). This is not supported by ff_thread_finish_setup() and specifically checked for and warned against in the functions code. The issue is also specific to hw accelerated decoding only as the second call to ff_thread_finish_setup() is only issued when hw acceleration is on. The fix is simple: add a check that the first call is only send when hw acceleration is off, and the second call only when hw acceleration is on (see attached patch). This works fine as far as I was able to test with vdpau and nvdec/nvcuvid hw decoding. The patch also adds NVDEC to the hw config list if available.

I also noticed a secondary issue when browsing through the code which is that, according to documentation, ff_thread_finish_setup() should only be called if the codec implements update_thread_context(), which h263dec does not. The patch does not address this and I'm not sure any action needs to be taken here at all.

[1] This is depending on whether or not the hw decoder sets the  HWACCEL_CAPS_ASYNC_SAFE flag

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • ffserver is a multimedia streaming server for live broadcasts.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
